The Machine Gun is my single favorite weapon in the game, and it used to be my go-to for the Bot front. However, I recently stopped taking it due to the need for Anti-Tank weaponry, the only reliable ones being things like the Recoilless Rifle. If there was a Strategum or Primary that wouldn't leave me defenseless vs Gunships and Tanks in particular, I'd definitely run the Machine Gun more.
Theres a reason this is every helldivers starting support weapon. High damage, great swarm clearing both small and medium enemies, lots of ammo, and sadistic laughing when holding down the trigger. Im supriesed more people don't use it on higher difficulties.
The more I think about it, the more I realize just how hard the MG would go on bots with the right loadout. I'm thinking crossbow for fabricators and stagger, thermites for heavies, and a few anti-tank strategems for good measure
i like to take the mg when some other players in my team take anti tank. Id recommend not going off by yourself since now your anti tank options are limited, instead stick with somebody with anti-tank and now you can handle hordes, and large enemies.
Okay fellas this video's quality isn't the best because i hadn't optimized my video output settings, next video is about using fire against bots, and the quality will be much crispier.
MG43, EAT, Rocket Sentry, 500kg bomb or Autocannon sentry or EAS and your gucci. You CAN kill tanks without an AT secondary, but you also have to remember that your team likely has AT too. You don't have to be the guy that kills every heavy and teams do need someone who can wipe out a lot of light to medium armor enemies easily. I feel like you will have more of an impact bringing a MG43 instead of a RR if the other 3 team mates are brining AT secondaries.
for bots i have a cool idea for a loadout, mg+ eats, 2 other stratagems of your choice, you use eats to deal with dropships, killing the occupants and preferably any ones with tanks or hulks, and use machine gun to deal with the rest
Primary can vary, If i really want to play into the role of shooting a lot of bullets, then I'll go Liberator Carbine, but Jar-5 Dominator and Sickle are ones that I use as as well. Secondary I always go Grenade Pistol, its just so versatile. Grenades will almost always be Stun Grenade, but I've used Thermite and Impact Grenades before to great effect.
@@GutsEnjoyer guess I’ll need to bring anti tank or smthn or I could use thermites with supply pack ig because that will also solve tanks and cannons as those two are bugged rn and their weak spot has way too much hp
P2w? How? When everything can be earned in game. You just have to play. Now if you don't want to play to earn the credits then that's a personal problem
@@TheMickytheboss I dunno how the game is now but all i can say is that old war robots was way better, and last i played it was very p2w. You might be right though, but i liked old war robots way better.

i feel the same man, i wish there was an alternative as a primary or smthg
yea mg is great but id never solo queue with it, maybe try eats?
scorcher kills both
thermite, crossbow/eruptor, and MG
@@bh7969 My close friend says that I'm sleeping on the Eruptor. I'll have to give it a shot next time I queue bots
"I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet."
"Cry some more"
"Sandwich"
your bullets mean nothing to my ballistic shield lol
What about more bullets?

i use it on 10 for bugs, for bots tho i never used it, too many armored ennemies so idk
"Give me a team of machine gunners with Supply packs and we'll take Cyberstan ourselves."
@@jalontf2 Allow me to invite myself to the squad
Heavy machine gunner+ supply pack carrier, reporting for duty!
So humble a weapon.
Yet so GOATED.
7:58 did i hear a rock and stone?

Honestly, the most satisfying machine gun I've ever used in a video game.
It’s such a good weapon. So much capability in one little package. It’s quickly becoming my go to weapon of choice.
Loadouts I use with the Machine Gun
Loadout 1 - Bots
Titan Armor (Light/+2 Grenades), Explosive Crossbow (Devastators/Fabricators), Stim Pistol, Themite Grenades (Hulks/Fabricators/Factory Striders)
Supply Backpack, Machine Gun (of course), Eagle Strafing Run (Fabricators, etc), Flex Slot (HMG Turret, Precision Strike, 500 kg, Commando, Etc)
Loadout 2 - Bugs
Legionnaire Armor (Light/+30% Throwing Range, +50% Limb Health), Blitzer, Grenade Pistol, Thermite Grenades (Chargers)/Frag Grenades (Bug Holes)
Jump Pack, Machine Gun (of course), Eagle Strafing Run/Eagle Airstrike, Flex Slot (Orbital Rail-Cannon, Precision Strike, Etc)

Amazing creativity 🤩🤩🤩

Walking war robots theme sent me back
I bring the HMG emplacment and HMG so it can be more of the same gun
Hell yeah!

@@declicitous1763 Ill try it out! thanks!
That degraded footage 👌
This is awesome for how little likes it has.
thank you
Just spray snd pray
What primary secondary do you use with it vs bots bro ?
Great video bt
Primary can vary, If i really want to play into the role of shooting a lot of bullets, then I'll go Liberator Carbine, but Jar-5 Dominator and Sickle are ones that I use as as well.
Secondary I always go Grenade Pistol, its just so versatile.
Grenades will almost always be Stun Grenade, but I've used Thermite and Impact Grenades before to great effect.
Can it destroy a hulks eye or only the weak spot on the back?
weak spot only
Back only.
Tried it on the eye plate and nothing. Still, VERY fast on killing, the problem is solo killing it since they turn quite fast.
@@GutsEnjoyer guess I’ll need to bring anti tank or smthn or I could use thermites with supply pack ig because that will also solve tanks and cannons as those two are bugged rn and their weak spot has way too much hp
@@dinogaming7125 I just used stun grenades and ran behind them to shoot the weak spot
@@GutsEnjoyer yeah I saw but if I use stuns idk how I’ll handle tanks without thermites
reupload yay no more lag
My man's using the War Robots main soundtrack, that's taste. Too bad the game got filled with aggressive p2w crap...
@@Steampuke facts, i used to love that game before they butchered it.

@GutsEnjoyer you can read that comment too.....
@@TheMickytheboss I dunno how the game is now but all i can say is that old war robots was way better, and last i played it was very p2w. You might be right though, but i liked old war robots way better.
